 |works great, thank you :o)

It might not be so great because

 - you will come to be unable to access real "http://serv" with this MOUNT

 - it does not work when "http://serv/dir" is accessed instread of
   "http://serv/dir/"

 - it does not work when full-URL a "https://serv/..." is in a anchor
   somewhere in response data

Since these have been problems to be solved for years, I made a tentative
version to solve them as "delegate9.2.0-pre1.tar.gz" and uploaded it to
<URL:ftp://ftp.delegate.org/pub/DeleGate/alpha/>
With 9.2.0-pre1, you can do generic MOUNT for arbitrary server hosts as: 

  STLS=fsv:https  MOUNT="http://https.* https://*"

You can access to the HTTPS port of a server by prefixing "https." to
the host name as this:

  http://https.serv1  -> https://serv1
  http://https.serv2  -> https://serv2
  ...

while you can access each HTTP port as is:

  http://serv1        -> http://serv1
  http://serv1        -> http://serv2
  ...

This prefix string "https." can be specified as you like in the MOUNT.


By the way, if you are using DeleGate as a gateway, or reverse proxy,
these has been supported in the former versions as this:

  STLS=fsv:https  MOUNT="/https/* https://*"

With this, "http://DeleGate/https/serv1" will be forwarded to
"https://serv1".

Cheers,
Yutaka
